    Movie synopsis

    Filmmaker and leftist activist Michael Moore asks some serious questions as he probes the depths of America's trigger-happy gun culture in the insightful and amusing documentary, BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE. Guns in America are used to kill an average of more than 11,000 people per year. This death toll is obscenely out of balance with other first world countries, which generally average a total in double digits. Experts and analysts have pointed to America's bloody history as a reason, but how does that explain the lower murder rate in Germany? Violent entertainment has also been fingered, but how does this account for staggeringly low numbers in Japan, home of the most violent entertainment video games on the market.Moore's trademark comedic tone is razor-sharp as his quest leads him everywhere from Littleton Colorado's Columbine High School to the home of NRA President Charlton Heston. Moore, oddly enough a lifetime NRA member, makes his main target the news media, but also fires away at inefficient welfare programs, Dick Clark, and Kmart. The latter is even compelled to make a major policy change in their stores due to one of Moore's confrontational stunts. This exploration into America's obsession with guns is disarmingly humorous, but Moore also asks challenging questions and fearlessly seeks responsible parties, making the film an effective call for more social awareness as well.

    Bowling for Columbine (2003, VHS)

    Created: 03/02/06
    THIS MOVIE IS TRASH. I hate it. The second amendment gives honest citizens the right to keep and bear arms. For the government, or Michael Moore to try and take that a way is a farce. Guns are used for hunting, collecting, and self-defense. If guns are taken away only the honest citizen will obey the law. The only people in the USA with guns would be the police and criminals. I don’t think anyone wants that. People need to be able to protect themselves, if someone is breaking into my home I don’t have time to call the police and then wait 15 minutes. I need to be able to protect my family. Something to think about... In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up And Exterminated In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 Million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and Exterminated. Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, 13 Million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up An Exterminated. China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 Million Political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up And Exterminated. Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and Exterminated. Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and Exterminated. Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one Million 'educated' people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and Exterminated. Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century Because of gun control: 56 million. The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, ask them Who do YOU Want to round up and exterminate? With guns, we are citizens. Without them, We are subjects Don't let the media control your mind With Their propaganda blitz. They want to blame crime on gun ownership to Justify eventual gun confiscation, but they're soft on crime law Enforcement. To join the fight in preserving our right to bear arms join the NRA. AND DON’T BUY OR WATCH MICHEAL MOORE TRASH.

    On the recommendation of a friend, I purchased the dvd to see where Moore stood on the issue. We watched it for less than half an hour and burned it in the wood stove. After wading through the vile language I didn't care what his dvd was about. It wasn't worth corrupting my mind with useless unnecessary language. I will be educated on the gun issue somewhere else. I would not recomment it to anyone for any reason.

    This movie was in your face and to the point. If people are against this movie and what it projects it is simply because they are afraid to deal with real issues out there. Most don't have a good answer to hate this movie, they just don't like the honesty it portrays. Excellent, educational and don't be afraid to ask yourself some questions on your views.
